Scenario Editor in Win 7

[Smitty]

I recently downloaded HC2015.028SE to get access to the Scenario Editor in Windows & (64 bit). I would like to stop using the old editor in virtual XP. The editor that I downloaded seems to work fine with a couple of exceptions.

 

1. When I select ships or planes and use "DISPLAY" in the selection window, a box with a picture and text comes up. However, when I select "Weapons" the resulting box has internal windows which are too narrow. The damage is outside the right edge of the lower box and the ranges of some aircraft are truncated.

 

2. I can create bases from the pull down menu, but when I use CTRL+B, I get a position box.

 

I was wondering if their is a later version or if there is a work around.

 

TIA,

Gene Smith

There is no later version as yet. You could try resetting your HC registry settings with http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/files/file/228-hce-clear-game-options-registry-settings/. That for sure won't completely fix things but it may improve the situation. Let us know how you fare.

 

Thank you

Hi Tony,

 

I downloaded and ran the registry program from the web page pointed to in your link. When I ran it, it appeared to be a setup program that installed something else. I have looked quite a bit and have not been able to find something that might Have been in installed. I assume the program that has been installed ( by running the downloaded setup program ) is the actual registry cleaner program. Whatever, I saw no change in the behavior of the SE.

 

I did not the web page that you pointed to has a notation that it clears two items that look like directories. If that is the case my installation is not to a standard directory.

 

Again thanks for your time.

Hi Gene,

 

I normally dislike screenshots but can you post one of an offending screen in the SE?

 

The link I sent you to removes registry entries and doesn't care where the game is installed. The registry entries in question hold the size of Harpoon windows, dialogs, columns in dialogs, etc.

 

This leaves us with the known SE issues of column data not matching up with headers and secondarily the potential that you are using large fonts (very common on high dpi displays).

 

Thank you

[Smitty]

The column data is not matching up with the headers, so I guess that is the issue.

 

Thanks for your efforts
